Your Day Trading System

There are a number of strategies that traders use in their day trading system.

The following are the most common day trading strategies used:

Scalping - Scalping is one of the most popular strategies in which the day trader, whom is called a “Scalper”, attempts to make many profits on small price changes, literally just a few cents, and selling almost immediately after a trade becomes profitable. Many small profits can easily compound into large gains if a strict exit strategy is used to prevent large losses.

Day traders who implement this strategy will place anywhere from 10 to a couple hundred trades in a single day in the belief that small moves in stock price are easier to catch than large ones.

Fading - Fading is an investment strategy devoted to doing the opposite of the prevailing wisdom. In the brokerage sector, it also refers to a dealer's inability or refusal to fill an order at the prevailing bid/ask spread the dealer has published (that is, the dealer "fades" from trading).

Fade day traders love to do what's out of favor, they zig when everyone else zags. They tend to buy when everyone else is selling, sell when everyone else is buying, and wait when everyone else is active.

The result is that the contrarian often buys a cheap security that everyone else is calling a dog and sells a security that everyone else is clamoring to get into.

Fade investors often look for stocks with low price-to-earnings ratios. When the market goes up, they sometimes prefer value stocks value stocks to growth stocks ; when the market goes down, they often favor growth stocks over value stocks.

It is important to note that fade investing often works best for investors who have thoroughly analyzed the fundamentals of the companies they invest in.

Daily Pivots - This day trading strategy involves profiting from a stock's daily volatility. This is done by attempting to buy at the low of the day and sell at the high of the day.

The pivot point is the level at which the market direction changes for the day. Using some simple arithmetic and the previous days high, low and close, a series of points are derived.

These points can be critical support and resistance levels. The pivot level, support and resistance levels calculated from that are collectively known as pivot levels.

Every day the market you are following has an open, high, low and a close for the day. This information basically contains all the data you need to use pivot points.

The reason pivot points are so popular is that they are predictive as opposed to lagging. You use the information of the previous day to calculate potential turning points for the day you are about to trade (present day).

Because so many traders follow pivot points you will often find that the market reacts at these levels. This give you an opportunity to trade.

Momentum Trading - This strategy usually involves trading on news releases or finding strong trending moves supported by high volume. One type of momentum trader will buy on news releases and ride a trend until it exhibits signs of reversal. The other type will fade the price surge.

Day trading is a difficult skill to master. As a result, many of those who try it fail. But the techniques described above can help you create a profitable strategy and with enough practice and consistent performance evaluation, you can greatly improve your chances of beating the odds.
